A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite orbits
above the equator and has an orbital period of 24 hours so that it
is always above the same point on the spinning earth. Calculate the
altitude of such a satellite.
(b) What is the gravitational field experienced by the
satellite? Give your answer as a percentage in relation to the
gravitational eld at the earth's surface.
Instruction:
First, solve the problem in terms of variables. Then,
calculate the numerical values.
Use the following variables:(you can use your own variables as
well)
ME: Mass of earth
m: the mass of the satellite:
RE: radius of Earth
h: altitude
T: the orbital period.
g: gravitational field at the earth's surface

A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is
3.09×107m directly above the equator. The satellite is located
midway between Quito, Equador, and Belem, Brazil, two cities almost
on the equator that are separated by a distance of 3.48×106m.
Calculate the time it takes for a telephone call to go by way of
satellite between these cities. Ignore the curvature of the
earth.

A geosynchronous communications satellite in stationary orbit is
used to relay radio messages from one point to another around the
earth’s curved surface. Apply Newton’s second law to the satellite
to find its altitude in meters above the earth’s surface.
RE = 6.38 × 106 m,
mE = 5.97 × 1024 kg, and G
= 6.674 × 10−11 Nm2/kg2.

What's ratio of the orbital period for a satellite in
a geosynchronous orbit around the Earth to that of a satellite in
an orbit slightly above the surface of the Earth? The Earth has a
radius of 6371km, and a satellite in a circular geosynchronous
orbit has a radius of 42000km from the center of the earth. The
mass of the Earth is 5.792*10^24kg, and Newton's gravitation
constant is G=6.674*10^-11N*m^2/kg^2

(a) A 374 kg satellite orbits the Earth at a height of 3197 km
above the Earth's surface. Assume the Earth has a mass of 5.98 x
1024 kg and a radius of 6,380 km. Find the velocity (in
m/s) of the satellite in its orbit.
(b) Calculate the period of the satellite's orbit when it orbits
the Earth at a height of 3197 km above the Earth's surface. State
your answer in minutes.

A satellite is launched into an orbit at an altitude 200 km
above the surface. Onboard is an exquisitely sensitive atomic clock
that is synchronized with an identical clock on Earth. After
orbiting for one year, the satellite is captured, returned to
Earth, and the clocks compared. What will be the shift in time
between the two clocks?

A 425 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400
km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the
satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits
the ground with a speed of 2.00 km/s. How much energy was
transformed to internal energy by means of friction?

A satellite moves in orbit about the Earth at a height of 9500
km above Earth's surface. Find a) the velocity of the satellite; b)
it's period of rotation; c) the magnitude of the Earth's
gravitational force on the satellite if it's mass is 2500 kg; d) if
the satellite's velocity is increased by 20% at what height must it
now orbit the Earth?
Explain D step by step please.
